Older rigs now allowed?

[Fulltimepuglife]

I was recently telling a former full timer I was planning on starting my adventure in a month or two. I was looking to buy an older rig (about a 1999) and they told me it’s hard to find places that accept older rigs. Is this true or not?

I have a 1988 Fleetwood Southwind that i live in full time i have not had any problems finding a spot or a RV park like KOA or other camping sights. The Parks i have talked to look at your Rv and see if its in good shape and is not leaking all over. If you take care of it and its not all beat up or the engin is leaving puddles you should be fine. The only problem you will find is if your looking for a long time RV park i pay about 400 a month to park mine during the winter months do to not wanting to drive it in the snow i ended up finding a trailer park with a open space.

I have only stayed at parks that have the age restriction and I always get in. I think it’s more of a way for the managers or owners to have a look at the people coming in. A lot of parks need to make big efforts to keep out “trailer trash” which comes with drugs and shady business often and makes the park look unpleasing, therefore affecting their business and traffic flow.

But if you’re an upworthy and respectful community member that wants to provide them some monthly income and follow their rules, then those age restrictions are often less of an ordeal.

Don’t be scared off from a park that states a rig age restriction on their website or premises. Just call in and ask. This is true for 55+ parks as well. A lot of people don’t know 55+ parks can allow up for 20% of people under 55.

Best of luck!
